“Children long for this—a voice, a way of being heard—but many sense that there is no one in the world to hear their words, so they are drawn to ways of malice. If they cannot sing, they scream. They are vessels of the spirit but the spirit sometimes is entombed; it can’t get out, and so they smash it!”
― Jonathan Kozol, Amazing Grace: The Lives of Children and the Conscience of a Nation

“It should also be remembered that art created to change minds often actually does more to bolster the spirit of those already in agreement than it does to convert opponents.”
― Steve Turner, Imagine: A Vision for Christians in the Arts
